I made these for my sisters baby shower. They were pretty easy, but fun to make.

My mother-in-law made these for my baby shower, instead of cake.... they were a huge hit! She is quite a talented cake decorator and frosted them to look rather professional, they were beautiful!

These were a big hit, but very time consuming. Frosting them was tough. Also, I didn''t follow the "cutting directions". I just cut 1/4 of the cupcake (vertically), turned the cut part upside down and attached it by frosting to the rest of the cupcake. It looked like the picture. Also, I didn''t use the gummy stuff for the bow, I used string licorice
